Lou needs...
…to start putting the runners in motion more often. They are hitting into a ton of double plays.
"I don't like them fellas that drive in two runs but let in three" Casey Stengel
Yep...
…they are having innings end way too quickly with the double play. You have Soriano on 1st (good speed) and a good contact hitter up (Theriot) and I don’t understand why Soriano wouldn’t be running there.
It’s possible Lou wanted him to, but Soriano didn’t go on his own.

Now we are assuming he is ignoring hit and run signs
every time he doesnt run? Really?
Reed Ballgame - best CF in the MLB
by californiachicagoan on Aug 21, 2008 3:34 PM CDT up reply actions
Not saying that at all...
…when you get the hit & run sign, the runner must go no matter what kind of jump they get. When you get the straight steal sign (which it would have been in this case), you have the option to hold up if you feel you didn’t get a good jump.
All in all, I’m just a little surprised Lou isn’t putting guys in motion more to avoid some of these double plays that are killing innings.

Could we get a Milton with May and Walsh winning it all?
Just in interest of balance.

Good teams win these games
For all of the hand-wringing about the offense, the Cubs won the series. It’s just another sign on how this team can win when not playing their best, and another reason why we all should be excited about this season.
That said, let’s score more than 9 total runs this weekend.

Phew...what a relief.
I really did not want to see the Cubs drop a series to the Reds. The bats have been a little cold (except for DeRo), but they fought their way through this one nicely.

Z went 7 with only giving up 1 run...
and when Z pitches things are often not dull.

Nice . . . Night game followed by travel, followed by day game tomorrow . . .
I hope they win tonight though, cause I’d hate to see them come into Wrigley on a 13 game losing streak . . .
Nats have lost 12 in a row.
It would be nice if they could get a win tonight, so they could start another losing streak tomorrow.
Nanika Ga Okoru!
My thoughts, too
"Every team will win 60 games, every team will lose 60 games, it's what the team does in the other 42 games that decides the season."
if you haven't yet, read the story
on almonte and cerda.
be a great read without a cubs tie-in
Enjoy your evening, folks
One more class to teach, then I am outta here!

Cracked a molar?
I am listening to the Lou interview and he said it’s the first time he’s been out to visit a pitcher on the mound and has needed a dentist out there. What happened? Dang it I missed the first part.
I think so, yeah.
That’s really weird. How could he have stayed in the game with a cracked molar?
Nanika Ga Okoru!
cracked a molar
he beat the brewers thus week, didn’t he?
Z snaps two streaks today
1st win in August in two years and 1st win this year when he hits a HR
"Every team will win 60 games, every team will lose 60 games, it's what the team does in the other 42 games that decides the season."
Z was so pissed
about walking patterson that he punished his own molar. what a serious badass
nevermind
it’s because of the sugar in the gum….
so hilarious
So ...
no IMing his brother
must eat bananas
no gum
Man, I love Z, but he can be high maintenance!

Zambrano has a dentist appointment tomorrow
He said he chews too much sugary gum. And he’s not a good example to his daughter when it comes to gum.

Why don’t you just walk under a ladder while whistling past a grave yard using our lap top to put the cubs on the cover of sports illustrated letting a back cat crossing your path telling everyone “Lilly is pitching a no hitter,” on your way to breaking a mirrow and stopping a goat from going into Wrigley.
Knock that crap off!
